How would the spiritual impact of your Church be different if all members were unemployed or earning the minimum wage?  What would happen if Christian entreprenuers were able to receive the necessary money to start a business with the help of their church when they have an approved business plan.  A business that provided Christian entreprenuers a place to live, food to eat, education for their children, as well as financial resources for the Church through obedience in tithing.  What impact on your Church would 10 new member-owned businesses have?  How about 40 new member-owned businesses?

Harvest Field Corners has witnessed the powerful impact of the "Gift of a Loan" ... providing financial opportunity and hope to impoverished, persecuted Christians in Pakistan.  In addition to the financial impact, HFC has witnessed a transformation of believers, who were once considered a burden to the Church and then became a blessing.  We call this MicroEnterprise Life Solutions.

In 2009, HFC reached a milestone as our loan fund in Pakistan reached $100,000.  We've made approximately 300 loans since 2006 and work with 36 Churches.  Currently the average micro-loan is $600 (the approx. annual income for most PK Christians) and financially impacts up to 17 people. Our next milestone is $250,000 in loan funds.   Think about the spiritual impact generated by a loan fund providing 417 loans, impacting over 7,000 people, that is re-cycled 4 x's every 10 years.
